During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tennessee, estate, five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below. As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny, irreverent, and touching celebration of the women’s spirit from the author of the famed TV Series, Six Feet Under.

Director Patrick Brafford is seeking one man and one woman. Auditions will be cold readings from the script.
Fonsia Dorsey -70-75 years old. Sophisticated, reserved, polite and underneath all of that, a spitfire waiting to let loose.
Weller Martin - 70-75 years old. Set in his ways, easily angered, somewhat of a loner but still hoping for a friend.
In this Pulitzer Prize winning drama, a card game serves as a metaphor for life. Weller Martin is playing solitaire on the porch of a seedy nursing home. Enter Fonsia Dorsey, a prim, self-righteous lady. They discover they both dislike the home and enjoy gin rummy, so they begin to play and to reveal intimate details of their lives.

It’s Christmastime in the newest—and tiniest—town in Texas. And it’s beginning to look a lot like trouble in the good ol’ Texas-sized mobile home park. Not only are the residents dealing with the stress of the holiday season, but they’ve just discovered that Doublewide is being doubled-crossed by the County. Come get your merry on with the Crumpler family and their band of eccentric Texans as they take on the “Big Guys,” a pack of vengeful raccoons, and their newest resident fresh out of the local mental institution.

Director Susan Demers will be holding auditions for Doublewide Christmas by Jones, Hope and Wooten at West Coast Players on Sunday, September 23 and Tuesday, September 25, at 7 pm both evenings.

Fight or be obliterated!

When the residents of the newest- and tiniest- town in Texas, Doublewide, find that the very existence of their little municipality is threatened by the Big Boys of McTwayne County government, Mayor Joveeta Crumpler and her loyal band of buddies (plus the usual standard family oddballs) rise to the challenge. And while they are sorting out their citizenship issues, they also take on all the neighboring ‘burgs in the annual Battle of the Mangers challenge. What could possibly beat out “Christmas at the Alamo”? There is no better place to ring in the holidays than in that colorful slice of heaven called Texas-especially Doublewide!

As this is a sequel, several roles have been pre-cast. The remaining roles are:

Lark Barken (woman - 20s)

Patsy Price (woman - 60s)

Nash Sloggett (man - 40s)

Baby Crumpler (man - 40s)

Auditions will consist of readings from the script. All auditioners should be prepared to tell at least one (clean) Texas joke.

Performances are November 30 - December 16, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm, Sundays at 2 pm.

No performers paid.
